Located within 5.1 miles of Gyeongju World and 15 miles of Seokguram, Baramgot Guesthouse provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Gyeongju.

The guesthouse feels so warm and homely, with a well equipped kitchen, very relaxing common area. Room and bathroom were spotless It is ideally located near the main tourist area and public transport. The host was super nice, helpful and communicated really well. My room was a quadruple but I was the only one there, still not 100% sure it's a room or a dorm though... Definitely one of my top stays in Korea!

Featuring a terrace, Doobaki Hostel is located in Gyeongju in the Gyeongsangbuk-Do region, 5.6 miles from Gyeongju World and 14 miles from Seokguram.

Nicely decorated common rooms, really nice staff and more family-like atmosphere, they will also give you tips on what to visit best, very good location, close to a great streetfood market. Basic breakfast included, but you can also cook in the kitchen yourself. The rooms in general were clean, only the shower is really old and the sink waters, sadly the bathroom overall was not in such a great condition. Since I only stayed three nights, I decided to wait until my next accomodation to shower. Apart from the bathroom definitely a nice hostel and completely enough to stay for a few nights.

Located in Gyeongju and with Gyeongju World reachable within 5.6 miles, Stay RomanticTrip_Hostel has a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge.

This small hotel was very sufficient for our stay. The room is small but cozy. The shared space was nice to order food to the hotel and play games at night. The coffee machine made great coffee.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, within walking distance of the old town, historic sights, restaurants and shops. At the same time the hostel is in a quiet location. Facilities of the hotel are good (seating area, coffee, washing machine) and rooms are slightly bigger than average. Friendly owner. Recommended!

    We stayed in a private room which was clean and sized to the budget. There were free laundry facilities, which we were delighted to use. There was a good breakfast included. The bus station is nearby. The guesthouse / hostel was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone spending a few nights in Gyeongju on a budget.

    This is the best hostel I have been in Korea by far. Incredible cool areas, the owner was a traveller and he seems to know very well what backpackers are looking for. There is even a manga library and a videogame area! Quite geek everything. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, very good location and with a great ambiance, quite cheap and with a complet breakfast included, what more can you ask for?
